Design Generator Info Pack

Alongside our creative workshops, Mesh Mash is running the design generator, a new way to connect for emerging young designers and artists from the western suburbs who are keen to be part of the Mesh Mash story.

We are looking for creative young people to develop designs for the Mesh Mash product range that address one or more of the following themes:

1. Natural Environment

Under this theme we are looking for artworks that explore biodiversity; examples include flora, fauna and images of our coastal, wetland landscapes. Works under this theme will be selected by the Mesh Mash crew.

2. Social, Political and Environmental

We are looking for work that responds to social, political and environmental themes which could be expressed in the form of text, drawing, collage, poem or composition of images. Works under this theme will be selected by the Mesh Mash crew.

3. Open category

Deadline for design submissions is currently 30th of September.

We are always looking for new fresh designs for our range, so watch this space!
